Security through obscurity has been considered a bad practice forever at this point: wikipedia

Looking through some tf2 projects that were open sourced, I could not find an instance of such "troll PR"s ever appearing, having looked at the aforementioned serveme, as well as demostf and tf2pickup.

The barrier of entry for people that want to contribute gets lowered; implementation work for the maintainers gets reduced for features that get an PR, only requiring a review.

Yes, most projects are carried by one or a handful of people, and we all greatly appreciate you guys efforts.

There is no downside to being open source though, I am sure many people learned from serveme.tf and other such projects simply by being open source, and occasionally someone new comes around that wants to add something.

Ah, for a post it's called "upvote", not "upfrag", weird.

I think it's time that ETF2L, TeamFortress.TV and logs.tf get open sourced, i.e. released on github or something such that people can see, learn, and most importantly, contribute.

If enough people care to fix a problem, someone talented in the community will do the work voluntarily. But in the state we are in as of now, it's impossible for someone outside to propose and implement features/fixes themselves.

A common problem that comes up is the "lack of manpower" to get things actually done, if you let people submit their work, you as host still have the ability to deny changes, but don't have to do them yourself.

On the subject of security risks, I believe it's even more beneficial if more sets of eyes can go through the code and report errors early, before malicious people get the chance to exploit it.

Upfrag this post if you think so too, and downfrag if you don't, however I am interested in your reasoning.

These textures wont load on linux, issue described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/6868

I should have considered NA and other leagues too, oops.
For now yeah, most divisions should be semi 1 to 1 translateable

Hey TFTV, i am doing a short survey on what the term "Advantage" means to people, and need more participants!

Please take a moment to fill out https://forms.gle/jbmFkevTb2dEWhDT6
Thanks everyone!

For new logs being uploaded there is a whitelist of uploaders, so this shouldn't happen anymore.
For the older ones I am still considering how I want to go about it - of course I can just apply the same whitelist as it currently is, but this will remove peoples private servers and bigger events that didnt use serveme.

I did not mean to act like i am doing something of importance. This website was made because I had fun doing database work, nothing more. That's also why I decided not to try to make it perfect slur-wise, I put some words in and that was about it.
My focus was much more to challenge myself to make such a huge amount of data quickly accessible.

I never released the full list, and 'kike' and 'chink' are counted too. Not sure where you got that info from.

There is a thin line between not making it boring to look at and not educate people about new/niche slurs to use.

The whole "generic" section is more or less just swears. There are not that many interesting slurs that are actually that bad, so to make it more interesting I just dumped whatever into that category.
Can assure you that this wasnt done with malicious intend, i am the only dev and have neither of these words on my profile.

Hey!

Slurs.tf has been online for a week now, and with that, I want to publicly release the source code as well as which players have been looked up the most during that time. In total there were 39573 lookups.

Source code hosted on codeberg.

A list of the top 100 looked up players during this 1 week time-frame: https://gist.github.com/LabRicecat/4c4be87aed266af23e45fa3bf9a25116

On that note, thank you aoshi and icewind for making this website possible in the first place. <3
